Many teens dont get enough sleep because they have too much homework, which keeps them up at night. Some teens cannot sleep at night even when they want to. Studies show that during your teenage years, the bodys biological clock is reset, telling you to sleep later at night and wake up later in the morning. But changes in the body clock arent the only reason teens lose sleep. Lots of people have insomnia (失眠). The most mon cause of insomnia is stress. But all sorts of things can lead to insomnia. These include physical disfort, emotional troubles and even sleeping environment. Its mon for everyone to have insomnia from time to time. But if it lasts for a month or more, go and see a doctor. Some people have a condition that causes stomach acid (酸) to move backward towards the chest. This produces the unfortable, burning feeling called heartburn. So even if the person doesnt notice the feelings of heartburn because he is sleeping, he may feel tired the next day. Most teens have nightmares sometimes. But, if they are frequent(频繁的), a persons sleep pattern can be seriously affected. The most mon cause of nightmares is emotional problems, such as stress or anxiety. If you have them a lot, its a good idea to talk to a doctor. Doctors encourage teens to make lifestyle changes to develop good sleeping habits. You probably know that coffee can keep you awake, but did you know that playing video games or watching TV does the same?24. The main idea of the first paragraph is _. AThere is a problem that teenagers cant get enough sleep. BSleeping problems have different causes. CYawning is a good way to get rid of sleep. DTeenagers care too much for homework.25. The Teenagers biological clock _. Aeasily makes teenagers lead to insomniaBis the origin of their insomniaCprovides them with plenty of free time at nightDis helpful to improve their concentration26. What does the writer say about “nightmares”? AIt is nothing and shouldnt be taken seriously.BIt can release their stress or anxiety. CEmotional problems are the only way to form nightmares. DPeople will suffer from sleep if frequent.27. Which way can help to get rid of insomnia? ADrinking some coffee before going to bed. BPlaying video game or watching TV from time to time. CTurning to a doctor for help. DEating much medicine for insomnia.CHello. Its one of the first words we learn as babies, yet its one of the last ones we think to use as adults. Thats unfortunate, because saying hello is more than just saying hello it is noticing anothers worth. How might the world change how might we change if we mastered this word? To find it out, I spent one month saying hello to every person I met. Heres what Ive learned.It can improve productivity(生产力). In one of the few studies ever done on this subject, Allan Allday, an assistant professor of special education at Oklahoma State University, had middle school teachers greet their students individually each morning. This exchange of greetings raised the kids productivity. School went from impersonal to personal, and that resulted in more class participation and better grades.Environments influence friendliness. And researchers say pleasant environments generally encourage more smiles and hellos than unpleasant ones. My experience was similar. Whatever the reason, my urban hellos were answered far less often than my rural ones. Similarly, people in vacation spots, like the Jersey Shore, were far friendlier than those hurrying to work downtown.Its a form of universal health insurance. Its impossible to say hello without smiling. And smiling has been shown to lower blood pressure, relieve stress and improve happiness. Clearly, a smile creates a similar effect on the recipient (接受者). So maybe we can make the world a better place by saying hello to each other. After a month of doing it, I feel lighter and more connected and I have a better sense of wellbeing.28.What can be inferred in Paragraph 1?A. Adults are not willing to say hello.B. The first word we learn as babies is hello.C. Saying hello is useless to anothers worth.D. The writer wasted a month saying hello to every person.29.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 probably means that_.A. teachers and students got friendlier so that the students became more active and scored higherB. the exchange of greeting resulted in the increasing number of school studentsC. students can get higher scores in tests because they greet their teachers every dayD. in private schools, there is more class participation and better grades30.According to the passage, smiling can have the following effects on health except_.A. lowering blood pressureB. improving intelligenceC. increasing pleasureD. reducing pressure31.Whats the writers purpose of writing the passage?A. To tell us saying hello can improve productivity.B. To tell us saying hello is a form of universal health insurance.C. To prove that environments influence friendliness.D. To advise us to say hello more often.DA small piece of fish each day may keep the heart doctor away. Thats the finding of a study of Dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed (消耗)at least an ounce of salt-water fish per day pared to those who never ate fish. The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific support to the long held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart. Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States, with more than 550,000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year. But previous research has shown that the level of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do. There are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3 ounces. For 20 years, the Dutch study followed 852 middle-aged men, 20 percent of whom ate no fish. At the start of the study, average fish consumption was about two-thirds of an ounce each day, with more men eating lean fish than fatty fish. During the next two decades, 78 of the men died from heart disease. The fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos. This relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age, high blood pressure, or blood cholesterol（胆固醇）levels.32. In which section of a newspaper can we read this passage? AAds. BMovies. CBriefs .DHealth and Diet. 33. The passage is mainly about _. Athe high incidence（发病率） of heart disease in some countries Bthe changes in peoples diet Cthe effect of fish eating on peoples health Dthe daily fish consumption of people in different cultures 34. The phrase “this relationship” in paragraph 5 refers to the connection between _ and the level of heart disease. Athe amount of fish eaten Bregular fish-eating Cthe kind of fish eaten Dpeople of different areas 35. From the passage we know the author is most probably _. Aa heart doctor Ba science researcher Ca supporter of healthy eating Da university student 七选五 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where weve never been before.But just as in face to face munication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line. _36_. Imagine how youd feel if you were in the other persons shoes.For anything youre about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the persons face?” If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. 37 .If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct（本能）is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so. 38 . If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room. 39 . Offer advice when asked by newers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to municate. When someone makes a mistake, whether its a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If its a small mistake, you may not need to say anything.

At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended（冒犯）.It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both fortable with sharing personal information, dont ask such questions.A.
